The Government of Zhang Xun was formed after the Qing dynasty was restored on 1 July 1917 by General Zhang Xun. Puyi (the Xuantong Emperor), who abdicated in 1912, became Qing emperor again. The government only lasted for 13 days, after which the army of the Republic of China forced Puyi to give up his throne. Puyi accepted Zhang's resignation on that day, dissolving the government.
